Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Description
Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (the “Company”
or “Apimeds”) was formed as a corporation in May 2020 and was incorporated in the State of Delaware. Apimeds is a clinical
stage company that is in the process of seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for Apitox, a proprietary
intradermally administered bee venom-based toxin.
Apimeds Inc., the majority shareholder of the Company
which is a subsidiary of Inscobee Inc. (“Apimeds Korea”), and the Company entered into license agreements, under which the
Company was granted the right to continue any clinical trial, acquire the permits and approval necessary from the FDA, and commercially
develop and market Apitox within the United States (see notes 3). Apimeds completed a positive Phase 3 trial for the treatment of
pain associated with osteoarthritis in 2018 and is now proceeding with the next steps for FDA approval. In the future, the Company plans
to investigate potential uses for Apitox to treat pain associated with multiple sclerosis (“MS”), and intends to conduct non-registered
corporate sponsorship studies to identify appropriate MS patient populations. Apitox is currently marketed and sold by Apimeds Korea in
South Korea (Republic of Korea) as “Apitoxin” for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
The success of the Company is dependent on obtaining
the necessary regulatory approvals of its product candidates, marketing its products and achieving profitable operations. The continuation
of the research and development activities and the commercialization of its products, if approved, are dependent on the Company’s
ability to successfully complete these activities and to obtain additional financing through a combination of financing activities and
operations. It is not possible to predict either the outcome of future research and development or commercialization programs, or the
Company’s ability to fund these programs.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared these unaudited condensed
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) promulgated
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the
information disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
2024 (the “Annual Report”). Accordingly, the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures herein should
be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
As permitted under the SEC requirements for interim
reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements include all normal
and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The information
included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2024 Form
10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these
interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,456,514.
The Company incurred net losses of $2,662,193 and $3,064,590 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and expects
to continue to incur substantial losses in the future. On May 12, 2025, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
of 3,375,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share, generating net cash proceeds to the Company of $11.9 million. Based
on cash that is available for Company operations, together with the proceeds from the IPO, and projections of future Company operations,
the Company believes that its cash will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating plan through at least the next twelve
months from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation and estimates that are related to convertible instruments. Actual results could
differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement
The fair value of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale
of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of
observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
Level 1 — |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 — |
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 — |
Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure
fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is
categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial asset or liability classification
within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The tables below
summarize the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

78.29% volatility, 0% dividend rate, and the expected term of 5 years. The warrant liability as of June 30, 2025, was valued utilizing
the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following inputs: $1.76 of stock price, 3.79% risk-free rate, 77.82% volatility, 0% dividend
rate, and the expected term of 5 years.
Common Stock Reverse Stock Split
On February 7, 2025, the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved and implemented a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-2.6,
which provided that every 2.6 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined into one issued
and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements and footnotes have been retrospectively adjusted for the reverse split.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the federal
depository insurance corporation limit of $250,000. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and
management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Segment Information
The Company operates as a single operating and
reportable segment, which aligns with the way the Chief Executive Officer, designated as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), evaluates
performance and allocates resources. The Company is a clinical-stage entity focused on the development of a proprietary intradermally
administered bee venom-based therapeutic. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not generated any revenue and does not have any material
long-lived assets. The CODM assesses the Company’s performance primarily through the analysis of operating expenses, specifically
within key categories such as research and development and general and administrative expenses. Given the Company is in a pre-revenue
stage, these expense categories serve as the primary financial drivers.
Financial information provided to and utilized by the CODM is consistent
with the Company’s U.S. GAAP financial statements, including the Statements of Operations, which reflect the loss. A single management
team reports directly to the CODM and oversees the entire business comprehensively. Resource allocation, performance evaluation, incentive
setting, and forecasting activities are conducted at the corporate level using the financial statements and a unified budget. Accordingly,
the Company does not evaluate performance by geographic area or product line, as it has not yet commenced commercial operations and has
limited activity due to current liquidity and funding constraints. All operations are based in the United States of America, and all assets
and operating expenses — including those related to research and development and general and administrative functions — are
attributed to the Company’s single reportable segment.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion
options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.
Applicable U.S. GAAP requires companies to
bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according
to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative
instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument
that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other U.S. GAAP
with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative
instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments
(when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company
records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based
upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective
conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are accreted over the term of the related debt to their
stated date of redemption.
If a security or instrument becomes convertible
only upon the occurrence of a future event outside the control of the Company, or, is convertible from inception, but contains conversion
terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event, then any contingent beneficial conversion feature is measured and recognized
when the triggering event occurs and contingency has been resolved.
Warrants and Warrant liability
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified
instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition
of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including
whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net
cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This
assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly
period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity
classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued
or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified
and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter.
Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability classified warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of
operations. The fair value of the Representative Warrants and liability related to Advisor Warrant (as defined below) was estimated using
a Black Scholes valuation approach (see Note 9).
On September 5, 2023, the Company entered
into a consulting agreement with certain advisor, under which, upon completion of the IPO, the Company would issue to advisor
warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 6% of the aggregate number of shares sold in the IPO (the “Advisor
Warrants”). The Advisor Warrants were issued on August 5, 2025. Because the obligation to issue the Advisor Warrants
became unconditional at the IPO close (May 12, 2025) and the warrants had not yet been issued as of June 30,
2025, the Company recorded a warrant liability at the IPO date fair value and remeasured that liability at June
30, 2025. Because the Advisor Warrants were issued as compensation for the IPO-related advisory services, the initial fair value recognized
at the IPO date was recorded as an offering cost that reduced the additional paid-in capital as of May 12, 2025.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025,
the Company recognized a gain of $9,518 in other income (expense) for the change in fair value.
Patent Costs
All patent-related costs incurred in connection
with filing and prosecuting patent applications are expensed as incurred due to the uncertainty about the recovery of the expenditure.
Amounts incurred are classified as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.
Leases
The Company accounts for a contract as a lease
when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic
benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities
at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets and liabilities are to be represented on the balance sheet at the
present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. The Company has elected as an accounting policy not to
apply the recognition requirements in ASC 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”) to short-term leases. Short-term leases
are leases that have a term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is
reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes the lease payments for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have leases that qualified as ROU assets.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. These assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years using the straight-line
method.
The Company adheres to ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”
and periodically evaluates whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its depreciable assets to be
held and used may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced
by the long-lived assets, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists.
If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying
value. For long-lived assets, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated
future cash flows. The Company reports an asset to be disposed of at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value less costs to sell.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” for
the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily
of management personnel costs, professional service fees, and other general overhead and facility costs, including rent and insurance,
which relate to the Company’s general and administrative functions.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily
of consulting, regulatory and manufacturing related costs, third-party license fees and external costs of vendors engaged to conduct preclinical
development activities. These costs are expensed as incurred and non-refundable prepayments for goods or services that will be used or
rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
The Company enters into arrangements with contract
research organizations in connection with pre-clinical and clinical trials. Such arrangements often provide for payment prior to commencing
the project or based upon predetermined milestones throughout the period during which services are expected to be performed. As part of
the process of preparing the Company’s financial statements, management is required to estimate prepaid and accrued clinical trial
expenses. The date on which services commence, the level of services performed on or before a given date, and the cost of such services
are often determined based on subjective judgments informed by the facts and circumstances known to management from the terms of the contract
and the Company’s ongoing monitoring of service performance. The Company makes these judgments based upon the facts and circumstances
known to management based on the terms of the contract and the Company’s ongoing monitoring of service performance.
In line with the guidance suggested under ASC 450,
Contingencies and ASC 730, Research and Development, all research and development costs will be expensed as incurred.
Development and regulatory milestone payments are accounted for by estimating the probability of milestone achievement.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation
in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation
(“ASC 718”), which prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee
services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments
such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the unaudited condensed financial statements based on the estimated grant date
fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award,
known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company classifies
share-based compensation expense in its statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s cash compensation
costs are classified.
The fair value of each employee and non-employee
stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company is a public company but
has limited company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based
on implied volatility. The expected term of the Company’s stock options for employees has been determined utilizing the “simplified”
method for awards. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Expected dividend yield is zero based
on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the
asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
attributable to differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
income tax reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recorded in the provision for income taxes.
The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that all
or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future
realization of deferred tax assets, including recent earnings results, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods available
and other relevant factors. The Company records changes in the required valuation allowance in the period that the determination is made.
The Company assesses its income tax position and
records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and
information available as of the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained,
the Company records the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with
a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than
not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company does not recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements. The Company records
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.
Basic and Diluted Loss per share
Basic loss per share data for each period presented
is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each such period. Diluted net loss per share
is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent they are dilutive.
The following table sets forth the number of potential
shares of common stock that have been excluded from basic net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of
the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
(“JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other
public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation
in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act allows emerging growth companies
to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards
apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting
standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer
an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS
Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised
accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting
Standard Updates (ASUs). ASUs not discussed in these unaudited condensed financial statements were assessed and determined to be either
not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance will require additional disclosures
and disaggregation of certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance to our financial statements.
3. LICENSE AGREEMENTS
On August 2, 2021, the Company entered into
a business agreement with Apimeds Korea. Under the agreement, the Company received the right to continue any clinical trial and acquire

of the earnings before interest and taxes, delivered from the sale or license of Apitox less any credits and charges, however, the royalty
terms shall not apply when shares of the Company are transferred or sold through merger, acquisition, or share transfer agreement to a
third party.
On October 12, 2021, the Company entered
into an exclusive patent license agreement with Apimeds Korea, a shareholder of the Company. Under the agreement, the Company was granted
the exclusive right and license under the licensed patents to make and sell the licensed products in the United States of America.
The agreement commenced on the effective date and shall remain in force
for each licensed product on a licensed-product-by-licensed-product basis for rights and obligations concerning the licensed patent, until

2022 Convertible notes (amended from notes
payable) — related parties
On March 21, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note in the
amount of $160,000 to Inscobee, one of its shareholders. On June 3, 2022, the Company issued another $100,000 promissory note to
Inscobee (together, and as amended, the “2022 Convertible Notes”). The 2022 Convertible Notes bear interest at 5% per annum
and mature on the earlier of (a) the closing of an equity financing with proceeds to the Company of at least $3 million, or
(b) July 15, 2022.
On December 5, 2023, the Company amended
their promissory notes to be convertible and extended the maturity date of the convertible notes with the related parties to be the earlier
of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) consummation of a qualified offering. The notes are convertible at a price of $1 per share.
The purchase of convertible notes and cancellation of the old promissory notes was accounted for as a debt extinguishment that did not
result in a gain/loss on extinguishment due to related party treatment. The conversion option was valued utilizing the Black-Scholes model,
with the following inputs: volatility of 92.22%, current stock price of $1.96, expected dividend yield of 0% and a risk-free rate of return
of 4.33%. The resulting value of the convertible option of $158,099 based on the allocation of relative fair value to cash proceeds, was
applied towards additional paid-in capital and added as a discount on the convertible note. The note will be accreted over the remaining
period through maturity at the calculated effective interest rate of approximately 41.4%.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the
2022 Convertible Notes and 2021 Convertible Note (defined below) automatically converted into shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the
terms of the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes (as amended), all outstanding accrued and unpaid interest owed under the
2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes was to convert into common stock simultaneously with the consummation of an offering
of common stock resulting in the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE American, or other national securities exchange (a “Qualified
Offering”). An aggregate of $660,000 outstanding principal together with $112,576 and accrued interest under the 2021 Convertible
Note and 2022 Convertible Notes was converted to Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 297,133 shares of Company’s
Common Stock, based on a conversion price of $2.60 per share, as set forth in the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes. As
of the date of the conversion, the outstanding balances for the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes were $235,439 and $151,237,
respectively, net of the unamortized debt discounts of $164,561 and $108,763. The total of unamortized debt discounts for the 2021 Convertible
Note and 2022 Convertible Notes in the aggregate amount of $273,324 as of the date of the conversion was reflected within additional paid
in capital, and the carrying aggregate amount of the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes of $386,676 along with accrued outstanding
interest for the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes in the aggregate amount $112,576 as of the date of the conversion are
reflected within condensed statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit).
As of December 31, 2024, there was accrued interest
in connection to the 2022 Convertible Notes of $34,745. Interest expenses were $1,498 and $4,596 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2025, respectively. Interest expenses were $3,134 and $6,268 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
There was accretion on the note’s debt discount
in connection to the 2022 Convertible Notes of $5,171 and $15,771 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
There was accretion on the note’s debt discount of $5,373 and $12,844 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
2021 Convertible note — related
party
On August 30, 2021, the Company issued a convertible promissory
note in the amount of $400,000 (“2021 Convertible Note”) to Apimeds Korea. The 2021 Convertible Note bears interest at 5%
per annum and matures on the earlier of (a) the sale of the Company or (b) August 30, 2026. The 2021 Convertible Note is
convertible at any time up through the maturity date.
On December 5, 2023, the Company amended their convertible note
to be convertible at $1 per share and extended the maturity date to be the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) consummation
of a Qualified Offering. The repurchase and cancellation of the old note was accounted for as a debt extinguishment that did not result
in any gain/loss on extinguishment due to related party treatment. The conversion option was valued utilizing the Black-Scholes model,
with the following inputs: volatility of 92.22%, the fair value of the stock of $1.96, expected dividend yield of 0%, and a risk-free
rate of return of 4.33%. The resulting value of the convertible option of $240,079, based on the allocation of relative fair value to
cash proceeds, was applied towards additional paid-in capital and added as a discount on the convertible note. The note will be accreted
over the remaining period through maturity at the calculated effective interest rate of approximately 40.6%.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the 2022 Convertible Notes
and 2021 Convertible Note automatically converted into shares of common stock (see 2022 Convertible notes (amended from notes payable) — related
parties per above).
As of December 31, 2024, there was accrued interest
in connection with the 2021 Convertible Note of $66,137 and is included within accrued interest — related party on the
accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets.

PARTY
As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 the Company had an outstanding
balance of $100 and $76,500, respectively, due to funds received from officers of the Company.
These advance payables carry no interest and do
not have a maturity date. The cash proceeds from these advance payables were used for operating purposes.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
Periodically, the Company reviews the status
of any significant matters that exist and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal claim
is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are
subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on the best information
available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending
claims and litigation. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there are no pending claims or litigation that are expected to materially
affect the Company’s results going forward.
Executive employee agreement
On September 21, 2023, the Company signed an executive employee

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 100,000,000
authorized shares of common stock. The Company had 12,575,983 and 7,903,850 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, as of June
30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.
On February 7, 2025, the Board approved and implemented
a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-2.6, which provided that every 2.6 shares of its issued and outstanding common
stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par
value per share. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and footnotes have been
retrospectively adjusted for the reverse stock split.
On May 12, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO
of 3,375,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share, generating net proceeds to the Company of $11.6 million after deducting
underwriting discounts, offering expenses and the value of the Advisory Warrant liability. Out of the total shares issued, 500,000 shares
were purchased by Inscobee,
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the 2022 Convertible Notes
and 2021 Convertible Note automatically converted into shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Convertible Note and
2022 Convertible Notes , all outstanding accrued and unpaid interest owed under the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes was
to convert into common stock simultaneously with the consummation of a Qualified Offering. An aggregate of $499,222 of outstanding principal
and accrued interest under the 2022 Convertible Notes and 2021 Convertible Note, net of unamortized debt discount of $273,324, was converted
to common stock, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 297,133 shares of Company’s common stock, based on a conversion price
of $2.60 per share, as set forth in the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes.
Immediately following the IPO on May 16, the board of directors approved
the grant of 750,000 and 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the CEO and Chief Medical Officer of the Company, respectively.
Such stock were issued under the Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Equity Incentive Plan”)
and are fully vested and unrestricted. The value of the fully vested shares granted was determined by the value of the stock on the quoted
trading price of $1.70 per share and in aggregate of $1,700,000, and recorded as stock-based compensation - stock grants, with $1,275,000
and $425,000 allocated to general and administrative Research and development expenses, respectively, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2025.
Warrants
In connection with the IPO, the Company entered
into an Underwriting Agreement, dated May 8, 2025, between the Company and its underwriter. The Company also agreed to issue warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 168,750 shares of common stock (the “Representative Warrants”), each dated May 12, 2025, to
underwriter and its designees. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and also feature a cashless exercise
option. The initial exercise date of the Underwriter Warrants is November 4, 2025.
The Company accounts for Placement Agent Warrants
as equity-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in
FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”). The measurement of fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model
considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $1.81, exercise price of $5.00, term of 5 years,
volatility of 78%, risk-free rate of 4.09%, and expected dividend rate of 0.0%). The grant date fair value of these Placement Agent Warrants
was estimated to be $139,388 on May 12, 2025, and was reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital as of May 12, 2025.
On August 5, 2025, the Company issued the Advisor
Warrants to purchase 202,500 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.01 per share at a purchase price equal to $4.00 per share, with
expiration date of October 19, 2032.
Preferred Stock
On December 5, 2023, the Company authorized
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. The rights and preferences of preferred shareholders have not been determined
as of the date of filing. The Company had no preferred shares issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and August 5, 2025.
10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options
On September 18, 2024, the Company adopted the
2024 Equity Incentive Plan. 1,538,462 shares of common stock have initially been reserved for the issuance of awards under the 2024 Equity
Incentive Plan with 42,283 shares available for future issuance as of June 30, 2025. There were 213,692 nonqualified stock option awards
issued and outstanding outside of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
calculate stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718. The fair value of stock-based awards is amortized over the vesting
period of the award.
There were 496,179 stock options granted under the
2024 Equity Incentive Plan to the Company’s employees and directors during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and no
stock options granted for three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The stock options granted during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2025, were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following inputs: $1.70-$1.93 of stock
price, 4.06% risk-free rate, 78.23%-81.85% volatility, 0% dividend rate, and the expected term of 5.50-6.00 years.
The following represents a summary of options:
| | Stock Options | | | Weighted-Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term | |
Issued and outstanding, December 31, 2024 | | | 213,692 | | | $ | 7.33 | | | | 5.12 | |

the remaining unamortized expense of $415,479 will be recognized over the next 2.77 years. Such amount does not include the effect of
future grants of equity compensation, if any. The intrinsic value of options outstanding was $867 at June 30, 2025 and the intrinsic value
of options exercisable was $0 at December 31, 2024.

The Company recorded no provision or
benefit for income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For all periods presented, the pretax losses incurred
by the Company received no corresponding tax benefit because the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that
the Company will be unable to realize the value of any resulting deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess its position
in future periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of its valuation allowance in the future.

Overview
Apimeds Pharmaceuticals
US, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is in the process of developing Apitox, a proprietary intradermally administered
bee venom-based toxin. Our primary focus is to advance Apitox in the treatment of inflammatory conditions in the United States, specifically
osteoarthritis (“OA”) and, eventually, multiple sclerosis (“MS”).
Apitox, is currently
marketed and sold by Apimeds, Inc. in South Korea (“Apimeds Korea”) as “Apitoxin” for the treatment of inflammation
and pain management symptoms associated with OA. There is an extensive history of use of bee venom, both in the United States and around
the world, to assist with pain management. We believe that, in addition to knee OA and MS, Apitox has the potential to help manage difficult
to control pain and inflammation issues, which we will explore in the future.
Our Product Candidate
Our product candidate Apitox is a purified, pharmaceutical
grade venom of the Apis mellifera, or honeybee, which is classified by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as an
active pharmaceutical ingredient. Apimeds Korea has developed a proprietary method and process of turning extracted bee venom into a lyophilized
powder for reconstitution prior to intradermal dose injections, which they sell in South Korea as Apitoxin. Apimeds Korea has exclusively
licensed to us all rights to develop, commercialize, market and sell Apitoxin as “Apitox” in the United States in exchange
for a sales royalty.
The success of the Company is dependent on obtaining
the necessary regulatory approvals of its product candidates, marketing its products and achieving profitable operations. The continuation
of the research and development activities and the commercialization of its products, if approved, are dependent on the Company’s
ability to successfully complete these activities and to obtain additional financing through a combination of financing activities and
operations. It is not possible to predict either the outcome of future research and development or commercialization programs, or the
Company’s ability to fund these programs.
Financial Results
Since inception, Apimeds has incurred significant
operating losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. net loss was $2,662,193
and $3,064,590, and $449,363 and $745,836, respectively.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had accumulated
deficit amount to $7,456,514. The Company incurred net losses of $2,662,193 and $3,064,590 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2025, respectively, and expects to continue to incur substantial losses in the future. On May 12, 2025, the Company consummated its initial
public offering (the “IPO”) of 3,375,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share, generating net proceeds
to the Company of $11.9 million. Based on cash that is available for Company operations, together with the proceeds from the IPO, and
projections of future Company operations, the Company believes that its cash will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current operating
plan through at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of the accompanying condensed financial statements.

June 30, 2025, compared to net loss of $745,836 in the same period of 2024, representing an increase in loss of $2,318,754. The increase
was mainly due to the increase in both general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses due to higher stock compensation
costs and expanded operational and research and development activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has generated no revenue, has incurred
operating losses since inception, expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become
profitable. Until such time as the Company is able to establish a revenue stream, it is dependent upon obtaining necessary equity and/or
debt financing to continue operations. The Company cannot make any assurances that sales will commence in the near term or that additional
financing will be available to it on acceptable terms or at all. This could negatively impact our business and operations and could also
lead to the reduction of our operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating
activities used approximately $3,381,000 of cash, primarily resulting from a net loss of $3,064,590, partially offset by non-cash
stock-based compensation for stock and stock options grants in the approximate amount of $1,700,000 and 192,000, respectively, accretion
expense of $39,000, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately decrease ($2,261,000) mainly due to increase in prepaid
research costs and prepaid insurance and decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating
activities used approximately $447,000 of cash, primarily resulting from a net loss of approximately $745,000, partially offset by
non-cash interest expense-related parties of $16,460, accretion expense of $32,000, and negative changes in operating assets and liabilities
of approximately ($250,000).
Investing activities
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 investing activities
used approximately $13,000 and $0, respectively.
Financing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, financing
activities provided approximately $12,126,600 of cash. This was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock
in the IPO of $11,953,046, proceeds from notes payable from related parties of $250,000, and cash advances from related parties of $17,400,
partially offset by cash advances paid to related parties in the amount of $93,800.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, financing
activities provided $100,000 of cash, consisting entirely of proceeds from notes payable from related parties.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
See Note 6 – Debt, and Note 8 – Commitments
and Contingencies, of the notes to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025 included
elsewhere in this Annual Report for further discussion of the Company’s commitments and contingencies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet
transactions. The Company has no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The Company’s management’s discussion and analysis of its
financial condition and results of operations is based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. to make estimates, judgments
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, Apimeds Pharmaceuticals
US, Inc. evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to convertible instruments.
Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experiences, and various other factors
that Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company defines its critical accounting policies
as those accounting principles that require it to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely
to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which the Company applies
those principles. While its significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to its financial statements, the Company
believes the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed financial statements that
require significant estimates and judgments.
Convertible
Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion
options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments
(when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company
records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based
upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective
conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their
stated date of redemption.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we have elected
not to provide the disclosure required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report in providing reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. This was due to deficiencies
that existed in the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, involving internal controls and procedures,
that were considered to be material weaknesses, as described below.
Management’s Report
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over
financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, and effected by our board of directors (the “Board”), management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
| (1) | pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets |
| (2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”), and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of our
management and directors; and |
| (3) | provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Internal control over financial reporting has
inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject
to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented
by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of
the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this
risk.
We have conducted an assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, based on the framework
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (the COSO Framework). This assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting
and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Based on that evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses
described below, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal
control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report
external financial data reliably in accordance with U.S. GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making
our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting. Specifically, we do not have sufficiently documented procedures or control activities in place to support
a reliable financial reporting process. This includes an absence of controls over the review and approval of journal entries, segregation
of duties, reconciliations, and other fundamental accounting processes.
Based on our assessment under the criteria described
above, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this
Quarterly Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control
over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to review
its disclosure controls and procedures, including its internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes
aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings.
However, we may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report,
there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section
of the Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results
of operations. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings
with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds
(a)
Conversion of Promissory Notes in Connection
with IPO
On March 21, 2022, the Company issued a promissory
note in the amount of $160,000 to Inscobee, Inc. (“Inscobee”). On June 3, 2022, the Company issued an additional $100,000
promissory note to Inscobee (together, and as amended, the “2022 Convertible Notes”). On August 30, 2021, the Company
issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $400,000 (“2021 Convertible Note”) to Apimeds Korea.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the
2022 Convertible Notes and 2021 Convertible Note automatically converted into shares of common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the 2021
Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes , all outstanding accrued and unpaid interest owed under the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022
Convertible Notes was to convert into common stock simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, which qualified as a Qualified Offering
(as defined in the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes). An aggregate of $772,545 of outstanding principal and accrued interest
under the notes was converted to common stock, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 297,133 shares of Company’s common stock,
based on a conversion price of $2.60 per share, as set forth in the 2021 Convertible Note and 2022 Convertible Notes. The shares were
issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
(b)
On May 5, 2025, the Company’s registration
statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282324), as amended (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC for
the IPO in which the Company sold a total of 3,375,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $4.00 per share, generating gross proceeds
to the Company of $13.5 million. D. Boral Capital LLC acted as representative of the underwriters for the offering.
The offering closed on May 12, 2025. Following the sale of all the
shares upon the closing of the IPO and the expiration of the over-allotment option, the offering terminated. The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $11.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses. No
payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons
owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned
use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in the final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025.
(c) None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
